I'm not sure it's a "bug" in the "bug report" sense. It's more likely a 
logical outgrowth of some basic design decisions made to meet the 
perceived needs of a target audience. I'm not a part of that audience. I 
found too many other things that grated during my (admittedly surface) 
survey of LibreOffice.

If I decide to investigate further, I suspect Felix's post may give an 
adequate workaround. Right now I'm attempting to learn debootstrap. I 
hope to be able to contribute a rewrite of "D.3. Installing Debian 
GNU/Linux from a Unix/Linux System" from _Debian GNU/Linux Installation 
Guide_ aimed at a less experienced audience. Even retired, there are 
just so many hours in a day ;/
